OECD Reports Decline in Student Reading Scores Amid Rising AI Use in Learning
Recent OECD PISA 2025 results show a significant decline in students' reading scores, especially in tasks requiring deep engagement with longer texts. The share of hasty readers increased, while fluent readers decreased, suggesting challenges in sustained focus and comprehension. Concurrently, nearly half of students use AI tools weekly for learning tasks like summarising and research. Experts emphasize that while AI aids quick information access, deep reading remains essential for critical thinking, interpretation, and forming personal understanding.
